This essay opens with an examination of the literature on the name “Anthropocene” and then turns to the ontological underpinnings of softly sustainable tracts that hold that the best hope for a future lies in technological interventions. I provide a diagnosis of the age that recognizes the unpredictability and uncontrollability of climate change, while arguing for democratic change that permits experimentation and brings the paths of sustainability—strong/weak, hard/soft—into a perspective called radical, green abolitionism. This perspective is developed through engagements with DuBois and Angela Davis and a politics of love that goes unrecognized in various accounts of intergenerational and environmental justice. I consider the modes of opposition to ecological and democratic change using the Sheldon Wolin’s analysis of “inverted totalitarianism” and various studies of what Neoliberalism means and entails as a focus of political resistance. The precariousness of the contemporary age is a way of thinking about how human society is a subsystem of the ecosphere, and not the other way around. What unifies the human with the other-than-human is the experience of instability and vulnerability at the hands of capitalist modes of production.
